U.S. Sen. Roland Burris leaves his house the day after answering questions from the media about his second affidavit to the House lawmakers last month. The Chicago Democrat said he didn't provide a full explanation because nobody pressed the point during his sworn testimony to House lawmakers who impeached Blagojevich. He accused Republicans of playing politics by calling for an investigation into whether he committed perjury and even asking for his resignation.
